Dear Wesley,

What’s the best way to keep a ponytail sleek and frizz-free all day long?

xoxo,

Ashley

Depends on what kind of sleek you are going for. If you want a nice shiny wet look gel is the best way! TIGI Head Shrink is my favorite gel to use in this case. Once you pull your hair into a ponytail, fill your hand with about a half-dollar size amount of gel and apply to the hair line and slick down those frizzy bits! To really seal the deal you can apply some hairspray and make sure it doesn’t go anywhere, Redken’s Forceful 23 is my favorite strong hold hair spray. If you want less of a wet look, trying using a cream that has hold to it, Bumble and Bumble makes a great Grooming Cream that I think should do the trick.

Hope this helps you along the way this summer!
